Yea i went out scouting/listening monday morning and they were tearing it up!  The big flocks seem like they're starting to break up a bit. Hillcritter, where abouts are you located in otsego county? I live in otsego county just outside of west winfield.

Been gobbling good on the limb. Had a pair going crazy to crows and geese on a big ridge with a power line on one side and a corn field on the other.

I hunt near Laurens in Otsego County. I live way down state but I go to college in Syracuse.

Youth weekend went well. 3 youth hunter were able to kill birds in the 2 days period. If you knew where they were roosted, the success rate increased rapidly. I didn't hear a bird the hole weekend between 7am and 11:30. Was able to strike a bird at 11:30 sunday and it turned out to be 5 longbeards that left their hens. Kids sure were happy!

I also had them gobbling on the roost today (30mph winds) in one of my honey holes. Thursday can't come soon enough!

Did some scouting last night...It looks promising for the opener. They were gobbling and the big flocks have broken up.
